have you got a pic of the courier? want to sell it?

If you looking for something to use road cycling then I would avoid a mtb tbh.

Although he does mention that he wants to be able to use it for both types of riding. You'll be best off looking at hybrid or XC builds and maybe changing the tyres to suit your needs.

It is a classic and in not bad condition, if your serious I can take pictures. How much are you offering? lol


I am now the proud owner of a TREK 3900 and love it.  It is not A1 condition but for £70 what do you expect! Everything works as it should and is very light (well to what I am used to). I will be heading of to find a few trails, I used to go to Burnham Beeches (nr Slough) as a kid and that was great fun.

i am getting into this mountain biking malarky and bought a cheap bike off one of the lads i go out riding with as it was his pride and joy until he built his full susser and i thought it was a good bike. so far i have put a pair of tyres on it i have also spent £30 having the gears set up i have had to tighten the headset/ forks up as they had a lot of play in them i have replaced the crank bearings along with the front derailler also i have had to shorten the chain. i have also found out that the front gear set is bent as the chain sometimes slips and gets wedged between cogs (not good when its pitch black and miles from the car on a little trail) and the bloody thing still doesnt drop into the granny wheel when needed.
pride and joy hmmmmm
i have spent about £100 on this bike so far and for a bike that was just to get me started before i bought a better bike its getting expensive
my advice would be spend a bit more than you want to and get a better bike to start off with

[rob.043]

and learn how to fix it

The only thing I would pay someone to fix/service on my bike is the suspension.  Everything else I do myself.

I've got a Trek 6300, cost me £850 but got it on the cycle scheme through work so less the tax and I never even noticed the payments coming out. It's a great bike. Had it a year now and had no issues at all!
